Scanning Applications at the Managed Workstation

The Software Scan Policy displays the list of applications that will be scanned based on the applications that you select in the Software List Editor.

The scan program verifies and reports the existence of the application at the managed workstation. It also states whether the version number of the application differs from the version number of the application selected for scanning by comparing the file size information at the managed workstation with the file size of the application specified in the Software List Editor.

You can select the applications you want the scan program to scan at the managed workstations. To customize the list of applications, you must modify the settings using the Software List Editor, and specify the list of applications for scanning using the Software Scan Policy.
